Non-Insured Health | First Nations Therapists in Victoria, BC
You want deeper, more fulfilling relationships, but something keeps getting in the way. Perhaps you're navigating relationship challenges, intimacy or sexuality concerns, burnout, or a major life transition that has left you feeling disconnected from yourself. We'll explore the patterns, stories, and experiences shaping your life and create meaningful, lasting change. I integrate evidence-based psychotherapy, sex therapy, and yoga-informed somatic practices to help you build stronger relationships, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with clarity and confidence. I also provide supervision for helping professionals.

I work with younger and mid-life adults and couples, many of whom are experiencing difficulty with relationships, identity, anxiety, and depression. Areas of concern might also be how to navigate spirituality, sexual orientation, or life direction and transitions. I want to create practical and personal strategies for people in a compassionate space where they can be fully and safely heard and seen. Quite often, people I work with are employed in creative fields: art, music, film, tech, or jobs in social justice work and helping professions.

With a blend of social work support and expressive arts tools, I am here to work with anyone willing to express themselves and solve problems through a creative means. No artistic skills are necessary, just a willingness to tackle struggles with an outside-of-the-box approach. If you're dealing with stress, life transitions, or often seeking ways that only temporarily release tension, together we can work towards strengthening your authentic voice. Heart Times will collaborate with you to get to a place where you are not constantly feeling lost, living in survival mode.

The Centre for Psychodynamic Insights is a virtual clinic specializing in psychodynamic psychotherapy. This approach explores the root causes of symptoms by uncovering and understanding underlying emotions through evidence-based treatment. Through collaborative dialogue, we examine unconscious thoughts and emotions shaped from childhood to the present.

I direct bill only to FNHA, and accept cash, cheque, and e-transfer.
In my practice, I work with adults struggling with various issues from anxiety, depression and eating issues, to trauma, grief and relationship difficulties. We all have our own history of experiences, and we tend to react in specific ways under stress. While our response was likely our best option in the past, it may not be adaptive now. I can help you resolve past traumas, learn to accept what is, and move forward from there - developing ways to a fuller and more satisfying life.

Have you spent your entire life trying to get over your childhood? Do you deal with crippling anxiety, PTSD, crushing depression, severe sleep problems, or struggle with ADHD? My professional area of interest, and my expertise, is in helping people deal with the aftermath of trauma. I offer neurofeedback in-office. Neurofeedback reduces or eliminates symptoms that block your ability to live life to the fullest. Severe trauma--residential school survivors and their families, war veterans, those with histories of childhood abuse--may need two to three 20-session blocks.

I specialize in supporting queer, neurodivergent, and disabled individuals. Many of the folks I work with come to see me because they are feeling caught between their values and patterns shaped by trauma, relationships, or societal expectations.
